Trip Snapshot
This 10 Days 9 Nights trip offers exhilarating trekking adventures through the pristine mountains of Bhutan and unique cultural experiences. The actual trekking is only 4 days. The first 2 days are spent on an excursion trip to acclimatize and the last 3 full days offer in-depth cultural tours in the capital city Thimphu and the fertile valley of Punakha. You’ll also have an opportunity to visit a traditional farmhouse, savour authentic home-cooked local cuisines and participate in preparing some of the popular Bhutanese dishes. The 4-Days Druk Path Trek is one of the most popular treks in the country as it passes through gorgeous natural landscapes of blue pine forests, high ridges and pristine lakes while at the same time offering the opportunity to visit some ancient Lhakhang, dzongs and villages. Although graded Moderate – Difficult, the Druk Path Trek is a fairly easy trek to undertake as the distances between rest camps are shorter. The trail takes you through forests of fir, blue pine and dwarf rhododendrons at altitudes ranging between 2400m – 4200m above sea level. On the 2nd day of the trek, we will arrive at Jigmilang Lake whose crystal-clear waters are home to gigantic trouts. This trek also offers stunning views of Mt. Gangkar Puensum, the highest unscaled peak in the world. The best times to embark on this trek are from March to June and September to November.
